Path of Kings: Once A Thief (Working Title)
🕑 Added 2016-08-08 16:37:16 +0000 UTC We are super excited to announce our new title currently in development Path of Kings:Once A Thief. This game is set in our very own Path of Kings world, where you play as the thief character over the course of a very memorable day in his journey. The game has you navigate the day as the King of Thieves, while you make choices that affect the people around you, it isn’t a normal day at all, but your trying to make the best of it ;)Development
This game is under the Gunsmoke Games banner, this is a completely different development team than a Sunsetriders7 game. We will be contracting all major services of this game while maintaining the design and programming in-house. This means Sunsteriders7 (SR7) will remain unencumbered to continue work on his parody titles. We are aiming to sell this game on Nutaku Store, and host it on our site for patrons. This game will be an attempt to develop in a traditional pipeline. Meaning we will go through the normal process of design, alpha, beta, post production. The design process will run while 80% of the art assets are being created. Then we move on to alpha where all the technical processes will be implemented. The beta will be the final polishing on technical and art, then the game will be sent off to get music added. Last will be post production where further Q&A will take place, while we have an advertising campaign created. The game will not have a demo, but will have a trailer that will accompany the promotion of the game. We have been actively in the design phase for roughly 2 months already. The game will be developed in the Unity Engine, allowing us all the new amazing features that Unity 5 provides, we will be designing the game in Aritcy:Draft 2.
The Game
This game will have Sunsetriders7 as an executive producer overseeing the most major aspects of the process. He will have the final say on direction and content, he will however not be involved in any of the actual development of the game, allowing him to continue on with his parody work .
The game will be a point and click style with an inventory and a movable character which you can guide around your hideout/headquarters. The game will also have a couple scenes which will be visual novel based (VN). We are hoping to try and create some morality within the world as you progress through the use of quick time events during key player choice sections, branching dialogue and permanent choices. The ending will be consistent through playthroughs but what you see, and how you get there will be all your own. We want you to guide the player through his decisions, either be a compassionate leader, or a ruthless dictator, some of your decisions will have a direct effect on who and what you experience. As this game is still in early development we don’t want to hype it too much as we understand things will change throughout the development. We are slating release for Q1-Q2 2017 and this game will be released when it is complete not a moment sooner.
The Artist
We are extremely excited to announce that Hpcritical/Hentaipatriarch will be our artist for this project. He has been around since 2008 and has been featured on Hentai-Foundry. His art is top notch and we feel he will fit in very nicely with the theme and aesthetic we are going for. All his social media links are below. Make sure you follow him!!!!

Very nice

Trying to get access to the games but can't find them and I really hate having to go to another site and search there. I am a Patron and would like all the current games I am paying for. A simple link to the games themselves it would be appreciated. I'm a one stop shopper. I hate having to go to different sites. I dig the game but only have access to the public version of justice, and no access to the other 2. Can you help a brother out?

Thanks for your input Dinker. Although I'm doing the day to day dirty work, SR7 is very involved in every step, just in an overseer role. He still ok's all creative aspects of development. -SmokeShank

As I've mentioned before, your dreams of becoming a corporate overlord worry me SmokeShank. ;) <br> I know I'm a small potatos voice, but I will say I'm gonna continue to happily contribute to SR7's thang, but have no interest in these sorts of projects. <br> That said, good luck! There's certainly interest and money down this road!

HP is the guy for now, I don't want to get to ahead of ourselves but if all works well I would like to stay with him. SR7 will only create assets for a Gunsmoke Game if he wasn't actively developing SU, or any other title. So we will see how things go when SU is done. -SMOKESHANK

Are you going to be having a rotating cast of artists for each of the prequel games or is Hentaipatriarch the only one? Will Sunsetriders still be the artist for the main game?
LongDongSilver
I approve!

The ideas behind the main game Path of Kings are still in place, this is a separate game. -SmokeShank

This game is a prequel, it is of a much smaller scope -SmokeShank
Cool, was hoping this project hadn't been abandoned. But I'm a little troubled by the proposed changes in game structure. I guess I'll wait to see more, but still good news.

Wait, so we won't be able to choose a character class anymore? What about the nobleman(scarface)?
